The Navigator BLACK tips by McDermott are a 10 layer tip that is made from Japanese Pigskin leather which are assembled using a proprietary adhesive. This prevents oxidation which means the tip won't get harder after short usage. The BLACK are some of the most adaptable tips on the market which allow player to shape and mold the tip over time to fit their play style. These are sold individually and are available in Super Soft, Soft, Medium and Hard.
